Maddow stepped in it

[bluestateguy]

She just engaged in sloppy, cable news style McJournalism:

She hailed the NY Senate vote on the religious exemptions and then reported it as the vote on the omnibus bill.

Carelessness... :hide:

[justiceischeap]

1. And she immediately corrected herself. My goodness, is no one allowed mistakes? nt

[gkhouston]

10. +1. She *always* makes corrections, and does so graciously and promptly.

A lot of people could learn a thing or 1,000 from her.

[liberalla]

12. Yes she does! I love that about her.

I can't believe they are cutting in to *Lockup* for this. :sarcasm:


In truth, I'm pleased msnbc is continuing coverage on this. Lockup has WAY too much time on that cable channel IMHO.

[justiceischeap]

13. I like that they're allowing her to handle it instead of Ed.

Of course, I don't know if Ed is on on Friday's...

[liberalla]

19. He's not usually on Friday... except for one special

show he did when he was live in Madison at the protests.

I'd like him to be on the Friday schedule.

2. So should we throw her under the bus now?

Get a fucking grip.

[JohnnyLib2]

3. One of us ??

[RandySF]

4. I detected her choking up.

She's emotional, and rightfully so.

[Dont_Bogart_the_Pretzel]

5. +1

[pinboy3niner]

6. Picky picky picky

:evilgrin:

[RandomThoughts]

7. Or....

[Terra Alta]

8. So she made a mistake.

She's only human, after all.

I still say she's the best damn journalist out there.

[nadinbrzezinski]

9. 1,- she was not the only one

2.- She immediately corrected herself

3.- I'd like you to do that job.

[PCIntern]

11. Maybe she should just resign...right this minute...

I mean how DARE she...I could switch to FOX where they get everything right all the time...

:sarcasm: of course...

[Politicalboi]

14. Yes her time is running into

"Lock-Up" LOL! What's a Friday night without watching violent men behind bars, and the women who love them.

[Downtown Hound]

15. A mistake? OFF WITH HER HEAD!

Seriously, chill the fuck out bluestateguy. Everybody makes them at some point in their life and careers.

[louslobbs]

16. Thank you Mr. Perfection for that important report about sloppy carelessness engaged in by Rachel

Maddow. I will sleep so much better knowing you are out there watching things with your eye for perfection and reporting to all of us on your findings of imperfection. Assert your right to make a few mistakes. If people can’t accept your imperfections, that’s their fault and they're fooling themselves if they consider themselves anything other than what the rest of us are, imperfect.

17. One Post Wonder...

:shrug:

[HNO3]

18. A bunch of DUers did the same thing

...

[bluestateguy]

20. I was too hard on her

I was tense and jumpy and I should not have overreacted like that.

It's just that she is a fine journalist and I expect better from her.

[Downtown Hound]

24. Meh. 'Tis all right.

I get a little jumpy now and again too.

[WillyT]

25. S'All Good... We're All Pins And Needling For The Next Good News...

It's so damned rare these days.

:D

:hi:

[Riftaxe]

21. Fox=MSNBC

in so many ways, the only fun is to try to find a distinction between them. A bit like finding the proverbial needle in a haystack.

[EFerrari]

22. A lot of people got fooled includng ACLU. n/t

[peace4ever]

23. yeah, sure

whatever

[bigwillq]

26. Didn't see it. Seems like it was a honest mistake.

We all make them.
